Tampa Bay Florida is no stranger to creepy and crawly Halloween Happenings. All over the Tampa Bay area spooky events will begin showing up around the first of October and they promise to have you screaming for more! There will be many haunted houses and freaky attractions guaranteed to bring in the crowds. Some of the popular haunted Halloween events are fun for the whole family, while some are better suited just for adults.
o Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay has featured it's Howl-O-Scream for the last few years. It last for 16 nights and tickets are sold separately. Runs Thursday through Sunday beginning on October 5 and consists of six haunted houses, five scary zones, and two twisted shows. You can even ride the roller coasters in the dark which makes them even scarier. Younger children are probably better left at home with the babysitter, there's a lot of screaming and scary costumes around every corner.
o Ybor City in Tampa, FL on Saturday, October 28 will host its famous Guavaween Festival. Guavaween has a separate day and night event. During the day, kids can enjoy the Children's Costume Parade and Contest. In the evening, there's live music and local artists and the festive "Mama Guava Stumble Parade". You guessed it, daytime appeals to the kids and the whole family, while the nighttime "Mardi Gras" version appeals to mature adults. Last year the daytime version drew in some 20,000 people but when the sun went down and the party changed to load music, there were approximately 80,000 people lurking around in some really wild costumes. It's all free.
o In Largo's Heritage Village you will find The Haunted Village. Heritage Village is Pinellas County's 21 acre living history museum. Put on by three local Rotary Clubs, this not-too-scary family "trick or treating" adventure will be open for three nights, October 29, 30, and 31. Admission is $5.00.
o Don't miss Lowry Park's Zoo Boo, held in Tampa on the weekends starting at the end of September, weather permitting. Lowry Park Zoo will transform at night into a special event for the whole family with haunted houses and trails, game zones, and a spooky horse-drawn carriage ride. They are adding some new features this year for kids "Frankenstein's Foam Party" and "Unearthed: Secrets of a Museum". There is an additional charge for this event.
It's definitely getting spookier in Tampa Bay. Families and individuals can find lots of Halloween Fun throughout the Tampa Bay area. Start planning your Halloween costume now!
